Beautifully illustrated with dozens of children's drawings, this is an in-depth, yet easy to follow introduction to art in early childhood. These pictures are interpreted so as to make visible the universality of artistic expression in the first seven years. Ms. Strauss interprets such elements as line and movement, line to surface and from symbol to illustration. This slightly oversized volume also includes an explanation of "the close connections existing between the activity of painting and drawing and the stages of the child's bodily growth".
